I realise this thing needs to be close to the Mac and perhaps some 'design' is desirable, but seriously - could this be uglier? Anyone who designed this couldn't care what went into it.
Apple really seems to be hanging its whole strategy on eGPU. Expect your "modular" Mac Pro to need eGPU. That's where Apple got burned with the cylinder, wasn't it? Couldn't or wouldn't upgrade GPUs, so now it will be a Windows-like jumble of… oh you want the LATEST GPU, well we'll keep churning them out faster than developers can get their software to work properly with them. Talk about a nightmare. And maybe that's what bleeding edge customers want.
